Here Is Chase Rice’s New Album, ‘Go Down Singin”

Chase Rice’s brand new album, Go Down Singin’ is out now, September 20th on all streaming platforms. Learn more here and listen below.

Chase Rice has been a mainstay in country music for over a decade; however, it seems like just in the last few years he has finally given himself permission to be his authentic self. After his incredible last project, Rice is stepping out on his own with another introspective, raw, and impressive new album. Go Down Singin’ is officially out today.

“I’ve journaled since I was 15 years old, but there’s something about being able to tell other people. I’m a deep person, but I don’t know to show it in real life, so I’m trying to do it in my music,” shared the singer-songwriter in a recent press release. “For me, Go Down Singin’ is everything about where I am and what I want,” he continues. “I’m starting to see myself as who I want to be, not who I thought I should be. That’s a good start. And I think a lot of men struggle with this stuff, too.”

Rice went on to share that he knows he has not always been the best role model, but that he’s constantly trying to make himself and his late father proud, which is evident on the new project. “I’m a fuck up, and I know it,” he admits. “But I’m trying. I mean, my favorite story in the Bible is David, who sends his best friend off to war, so he can be with his friend’s wife… I was a lost kid who lost his Dad. I’m not alone. I know lots of people struggle, too. The last record dealt with that loss, and this one is about taking all that and becoming who you’re meant to be.”

Go Down Singin’ is one of Rice’s best projects to date. Listen to the eleven songs below!

Chase Rice “I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell” – Album Review

Chase Rice’s new album, I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell is out now, February 10th on all streaming platforms. Take a listen and read our full review below.

On I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, Chase Rice is reintroducing himself to country music fans. Despite co-writing Florida Georgia Line’s powerhouse “Cruise” and having hits of his own with songs like “Ready Set Roll,” “Eyes on You” and “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.,” the BBR recording artist looked inward and realized he was chasing something that wasn’t true to who he is as an artist or a person.

Born during time off due to the Covid pandemic, Rice’s new album features thirteen tracks that he wrote or co-wrote while isolated, introspective, and off the road. “This record is all those sunrises and sunsets and road trips and firepits distilled into 13 chapters of my journey, which reveal pieces of myself I hid in plain sight for years. Even from myself at times,” Rice reveals in a statement. “It is quite different from anything you’ve ever heard from me – and it’s the proudest I’ve ever been of a body of work.”

The album was crafted with Oscar Charles at Rice’s rural Tennessee home studio, and features a photo of his late father, Dan Rice, on the cover. In addition to Rice, other co-writers on the album include FGL’s Brian Kelley, Corey Crowder, Hunter Phelps, Josh Hoge, Ross Copperman, Brad Tursi, and HARDY.

The album is a stark departure from the “Cruise”-lite type of tracks that Rice has released in the past, and shows him stretching himself as both an artist and a songwriter. Prime indicators of Rice’s evolution include his stirring ode to man’s best friend, “Bench Seat,” the stomping “Way Down Yonder,” the apologetic “Sorry Mama,” and the introspective “I Walk Alone.”

Opening with the twangy “Walk That Easy,” it’s immediately clear that this is a more mature Chase Rice, as he shares his ode to the type of true love that doesn’t fade.

Additionally, the pair of tracks that make up the album’s title are two of the most unique songs here, offering clever lyrical twists. On “All Dogs Go To Hell,” Rice uses reverse psychology as he muses over the opposites of life. “I don’t miss you baby,” he croons. “And all dogs go to hell.” Meanwhile, the tongue-in-cheek “I Hate Cowboys” has him losing a girl to a cowboy who seems too good to be true.

“When you listen to the song you of course get that I don’t actually hate cowboys – I’m really fortunate to call several of them great friends,” muses Rice. “But damn, doesn’t it make you crazy when Mr. Steal Your Girl kicks open the door — with that hat and those Wranglers, and he can two-step better than you, talk cooler than you? ‘I Hate Cowboys’ is an ode to the fact that just like Taylor Sheridan writes in ‘Yellowstone,’ if it were easier everyone would cowboy…hell, I wish I could!”

On “Bench Seat,” Rice was inspired by a friend who found himself in a dark place, ready to take his own life until his dog saved him. “I wrote this song by myself with the point of view from the dog’s perspective – which might not be obvious right away – and what that moment might have meant for the two of them if not for that intervention.”

On “Way Down Yonder,” Rice offers a stomping, gritty track in celebration of the mountains of North Carolina where he grew up, while “Oklahoma” features driving guitars and a wild guitar solo that we can’t wait to witness in person.

Rice is incredibly introspective on tracks like “Sorry Mama,” “I Walk Alone,” “Life Part of Livin’” and “Key West and Colorado.” The latter pair both find Rice moving on, letting go, and letting God, finding himself out somewhere on the road.

“Somewhere between Key West and Colorado // I found God in a gold Silverado // Had to get a little lost to get a little found // Learned you can’t find love if you can’t slow down”

“Bad Day to Be a Cold Beer” is an immediate standout, born from a golf course conversation. It finds Rice celebrating the joys that can be found at the bottom of a bottle of your favorite beer, and is a perfectly-crafted summer anthem. 

Of I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, Rice reveals that he wouldn’t have used his father’s photo for the cover if the album wasn’t one he was certain he’d be proud of. “Not only is it the most vulnerable I’ve ever been, it’s also something he’d enjoy listening to and is full of stories I wish I could tell him. I’ve always wanted to honor him by using this photo as an album cover, and I know this project is the one that deserves that.”

With his newest offering, Chase Rice is showing a different side to himself, in the best way possible. He’s more introspective and more country than ever before, and the result is a solid album that we’re sure would make his father proud.

Chase Rice Shares More New Music with New Song “Bench Seat”

Chase Rice’s new song, “Bench Seat” is out now, January 27th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

In this new project Chase Rice is embarking on, the singer-songwriter from North Carolina showcases a much more sincere side of him. Rice, known for his party hits such as “Ready Set Roll” and “Cruise” (which he co-wrote with Florida Georgia Line), “Bench Seat,” a solo write, continues the theme of honest songwriting with a more traditional sound. It tells the story of a canine best friend and the memories they made together driving in an old truck. His friends say he saved that dog’s life but in reality, it saved his. Rice paints very specific imagery throughout the song over a slow, calm melody. 

“And we roll the windows down // You’re out there in that bench seat next to me // There’s a smell of fresh cut grass // Mr. Reynolds waves as we roll past State Road 44”

This is the fifth track he used to tease the project ahead of its full release on February 10th. The album’s main theme will be lost love displayed in different forms—lost romance and loss of life. The collection of songs Rice chose for this project was in tribute of his late father who is featured as the album’s cover art.

Rice recently announced his Way Down Yonder Tour including supporting acts such as Ashland Craft, Kameron Marlowe, Conner Smith, and more! The tour begins in Nevada on March 3rd and hits the Tri-State area on June 23rd at Mulcahys Pub in Wantagh. For tickets, head to his website.

Chase Rice Drops Brand New Song “I Hate Cowboys”

Chase Rice’s new song, “I Hate Cowboys” is out now, January 6th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

2023 is going to be a breakout year for recording artist, Chase Rice. Last year, he released the first three songs off his upcoming album, I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, due out February 10, 2023. Today, the singer-songwriter is sharing the newest addition to his growing catalog, a brand new song called “I Hate Cowboys.”

Rice previously shared that this album is going to be unapologetically him, and “I Hate Cowboys” fits the bill. The brand new song is a heartbreaking account of losing the one you love because of someone else. Between the wordplay, the story, and the heart, Rice has something special with “I Hate Cowboys.”

Chase Rice // Photo: Kaiser Cunningham

“Cause they think that they’re John Wayne walking through the door // Turning every head, including yours // Pretty thing never seen one before // Got a thing for bad guys, yeah // They ask her to dance while you’re at the bar // Starts taking about them Texas stars // Next thing you know, you got a broken heart // She’s gone and that’s why I hate cowboys”

“I Hate Cowboys” joins “Way Down Yonder,” “If I Were Rock & Roll” and “Key West & Colorado” on the umping album. The new record is shaping up to be something really special. We are confident that Rice’s long-time fans will follow him, and that he will also gain many new fans in the process.

Chase Rice Teases New Musical Era With “Way Down Yonder”

Chase Rice’s new song, “Way Down Yonder” is out now, October 14th, on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand-new track below.

Multi-platinum singer-songwriter, Chase Rice continues to reveal the sonic shift of his upcoming project with this rugged outlaw anthem. Co-written with Hunter Phelps, John Byron, Blake Pendergrass, and Corey Crowder during a writing retreat in Florida, Rice recalled thinking of the mountains of his home state of North Carolina while penning this tune.

“All of a sudden during the recording process, Rob McNelley started playing this crazy carnival sound on the acoustic… and it got Western quick. That turned it from a song I didn’t think was even going to make the cut for this next album into one of my favorite songs on the project.”

“Make your love where the bees make honey // When the cut’s where you’re born and raised // Man it’s in your blood we were born this way down yonder”

This song has everything going for it to make it a hit single on radio—the catchy lyrics; the southern-rock sound; and the wild-west imagery. The writers use a lot of same-line rhymes and alliteration to hook listeners into the story. Phrases like “Rippin’ hot rod runners,” “moonshine money,” and “Bootleg Bertie’s” flow so well with the music.

The most impressive feature of the whole song is that the video was shot in one take. The camera follows Rice around the saloon, panning to other characters hanging out in the bar as well. At one point in the video, fisticuffs break out over a poker game.  

“Way Down Yonder” joins “If I Were Rock & Roll” and “Key West & Colorado” on, what Rice refers to as, his forthcoming “trackless” album. Rice honored his late father at the Grand Ole Opry earlier this week by debuting an unreleased song titled “For A Day,” which will also make the new record.

“It is the edge of the record. It’s real, it’s believable,” Rice shared in a recent press release. “There are no tracks on the record, which is different for country music these days — believe it or not — because everybody’s doing tracks. None of that. There’s not even a click on it. The whole thing was based on the feel of the drummers — us playing off each other.”

Fans can expect a more authentic and unfeigned project from Rice this time around. Rice will appear on SiriusXM The Highway’s “Music Row Happy Hour” tonight to celebrate the song’s release and share more insight into the record. See Rice perform these songs live on tour this fall. For tickets, head to his website.

Chase Rice Shares New Single “Key West & Colorado”

Chase Rice shares new single, “Key West & Colorado,” out now, July 29th on all streaming platforms. Listen to the brand new track below.

If you attended the second half of Kane Brown’s Blessed and Free Tour in the winter and got there early for Chase Rice’s set, it’s likely you heard the then-unreleased song, “Key West & Colorado.” Played acoustically live, Rice sang about his journey of getting over a past love. The singer drove around the country and learned a lot about life from the people he met and the places he visited. After stops in Texas, Minnesota, and Boston, he discovered solace on the road somewhere between the beaches of Florida and the mountains of Colorado.

“Somewhere between that sand and the snow // Salt in the air, and salt on the road // Finally let myself let her go // Somewhere between Key West and Colorado”

The studio version adds percussion and light, synthesized guitar melodies that peacefully bring the listener to the beach. The new sound doesn’t distract us from his vocals, blending beautifully with the sobering lyrics. This is Rice’s first new release since “If I Were Rock & Roll” last October. The artwork on both singles share a similar style—the old-timey photographs may hint at the overall theme of the next album.

Chase Rice Releases Brand New Song “If I Were Rock & Roll”

Chase Rice’s new song “If I Were Rock & Roll,” is out today, October 8th, on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the brand new track below.

Just a few months after his single with Florida Georgia Line, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen,” hit the number one spot on the charts, Chase Rice is ready to give fans a new side of his artistry. Today, the singer-songwriter released a brand new, reflective song called “If I Were Rock & Roll.”

The new song is all about vulnerability and authenticity. The singer steps away from his full-production sound in favor of country music storytelling. “If I Were Rock & Roll” is a song full of relational regret and “should ofs.” Furthermore, the song marks the first time Rice has recorded a song that he has written completely independently.

“If I were rock & roll // I’d be a middle finger in your face // If I were a lost soul // I’d be in church more than just Sundays // and if for some reason // I was Jesus // I’d have a lot of forgiving to do // And if I weren’t a fool // Girl, I’d still be with you”

Rice’s new release is a changing of the tides for the singer in some regards. It will be interesting to see if his next chapter of his artistry continues to evolve in the same direction!
